The Traitors' Amanda Collier Says Pre-Show Scan Found Serious Heart Disease

She credits the show's medical screening with catching a genetic heart issue that had progressed since a 2019 checkup.

Overview

  • Producers required a pre-filming CT scan that identified "quite serious" heart disease.
  • Collier says she is now on medication, has changed her lifestyle, and attends regular NHS check-ups.
  • Earlier testing in 2019 showed only slight heart damage, and she says a genetic factor has driven worsening since then.
  • She believes she would not have detected the change without the show's due diligence and says she is "very, very grateful."
  • Using her platform with the British Heart Foundation, she is urging people of all ages to take heart health seriously.
